Roof repairs in Folkestone
Leaks, slipped tiles, flashing and storm damage sorted quickly by local roofers who know Kent's coastal weather.
Most roofing problems start small - a single slipped tile, a hairline crack in the flashing, a blocked valley - and turn into a damp ceiling if they're left. We carry out fast, tidy roof repairs across Folkestone, Hythe and Sandgate, find the real cause of the problem (not just the symptom), and put it right with a clear price agreed up front.

Signs your roof needs attention
Water stains on upstairs ceilings, damp patches by the chimney breast, tiles in the garden after a windy night, daylight visible in the loft, or grit from the felt collecting in the gutters - any of these is worth a look before it gets worse. Coastal homes in Folkestone and Hythe take a real battering from salt air and onshore winds, so small faults tend to spread faster here than inland.

Roof repair FAQs
How quickly can you repair my roof?
For active leaks we aim to get out fast and make the roof safe the same day where we can, then book the permanent repair. For non-urgent repairs we'll arrange a visit at a time that suits you.
Will a repair or a new roof be better value?
If the roof structure and most of the covering are sound, a targeted repair is far cheaper and the right call. We'll tell you honestly if the covering is at the end of its life and repeated patching would be throwing good money after bad.
Do you repair flat roofs too?
Yes - felt, EPDM and GRP flat roofs. See our flat roofing page.
